On Saturday 131 students and 32 adults gathered at Gifts to Give in New Bedford to do service in memory of 9/11.  Eleven families, the Marion Boy and Girl Scouts, Youth Court kids, Trinity Academy students and the Gifts to Give student leadership council and students from seven area high schools processed a ton of donations, filled gift orders, harvested vegetables from the garden, tended to the pumpkin patch, picked up litter in our neighborhood and the Trinity students unveiled a mural from their summer service learning project to identify and interview a local hero – Sister Rose Gallipoli.

Ipswitch sponsors Gifts to Give as part of our iCare program. They have a wonderful mission of bringing a true cross-section of society together to learn about service and improve the lives of kids in need.
